Darlings, happy almost Spring! Here in Seattle we’ve been experiencing lots of rain, varying temps, and some teasing from Ma Nature. So with winter about to leave, I thought some rich sesame goodies would be just the thing. Enjoy these with some hot tea, and smile as you watch the rain. GREEN TAHINI BLONDIES…
My darling fellow humans…..I don’t think it matters what your belief system is or what your politics are, 2021 was rough. I am encouraged though by so many people who just keep going in the face of disease, and weird weather, and basically a huge world wide shift. I tell my kids frequently not to…
Hello my darlings, I hope this finds you well and happy. I wrote ‘well and happy’ and realized that many of us haven’t been; the state of the world is confusing and bizarre at best, and many of us have been having a hard time. For me the challenge has been living alone and starting…
At the extreme risk of being trite, congratulations to all of us for making it thru 2020! I know a large number of us didn’t make it, and I am sad for all of the loss. Not only the loss of life, but the loss of income, the loss of structure, and the (hopefully temporary)…
Every complex animal; humans, dogs, elephants, everyone, has an endocannabinoid system. This is a regulatory system in the body that responds to cannabinoids and helps maintain health. So cats and dogs, our fur friends, can get healthy happy and calm with cannabinoids, particularly CBD. You all might know that my cat Hugo J. Treadwell got…
The other day I was adding up all of the entities I know that have been helped and healed with cannabis. Some of the critters have been using my full plant tincture, and some have been enjoying the calm that comes with CBD. My human friends have all benefited from cannabis, mostly with micro-dosing and…
A few weeks ago I broke away from TV for an evening and got myself to Vashon Island for the VIMEA Meeting. VIMEA is the Vashon Island Marijuana Entrepreneurs Alliance, and it was wonderful on many levels. It’s not just Vashon folks; people came from all over to hear the lecture and hang. Standing…
So, after 9 months of mostly fun and some hard work, Val Russell McKinley and I published our book, “EveryDayMaryJ, A Practical Guide to Cooking with Cannabis”. Response has been good and we’re slowly but surely getting the word out. But! Turns out that’s the hard part. It seemed to me that after all our…
I was talking with my book partner, Val, the other day about the making of our cookbook “EveryDayMaryJ”. Initially way back in February, I thought it’d take like a month or so. Turns out I knew nothing! Thanks to Val and her photographer’s eye, we came up with a book that has truly mouth-watering photos…
This morning I had a long conversation with a dear friend facing a cancer diagnosis. She’s been on a ton of medication for a very long time for a variety of physical problems and is fed up with the pills. Her concern about cannabis though was one I hear a lot; i.e. I’m scared/nervous/embarrassed about using pot…
